Victor Romão – What do you think he
It seems that we are living in an era marked by irresistible fear. The 20th century has been dubbed the ‘age of anxiety’ but at the outset of the 21st, fear has become the primary emotion in contemporary life — dread of nuclear war, terrorists, and possibly even Prozac. The number of alarming things is countless. Hence this exhibition asks: how do we choose to temper thoughts and feelings with actions when confronted with terror; how can we make something out of these qualms? This exhibition engages fear from a wide range of perspectives and intensities. While there may be nothing manifestly scary in this exhibition, the works speak to the potential of this emotion to multiply, reproduce and infest.

Without: April 10–June 14, 2009
Justin A. Langlois, Steven Leyden Cochrane, & Henrjeta Mece
I. Outside, in various senses.
II. Senses intermediate between I. and III.
III. Expressing absence, privation or negation.
Varied in their approaches and diverse in their respective backgrounds, the 2009 MFA grads at the University of Windsor’s School of Visual Arts use a broad range of visual, conceptual and relational tactics to create work that confronts and renegotiates our perceptions of and relationships to the world at large.
Justin A. Langlois’s collective social practice interrupts and engages the city and its infrastructure through a variety of community-based projects, events and interactions. With reference to history and geography, Henrjeta Mece’s multimedia installations explore notions of corporeality and belonging. Steven Leyden Cochrane’s multidisciplinary approach challenges conventions surrounding art objects as repositories of meaning and vehicles for personal expression.
Aligned by circumstance, these artists have organized Without to question agency and understanding based on binary distinctions between internal and external, presence and absence, the individual and the group.
Join the artists for the opening reception and Fridays Live! on Friday, April 17, 7–10 pm.
